The tears of a clown, when there's no one around Oh yeah baby. Now if I appear to be carefree It's only to camouflage my sadness And honey to shield my pride I try To cover this hurt with a show of gladness But don't let my show convince you That I've been happy since you Decided to go (Decided to go) Oh I need you so (I need you so).
